Central skinfold is the sum of subscapular and suprailiac skinfolds. Peripheral skinfold is the sum of biceps and triceps skinfolds. 4SF is the sum of all 4 skinfolds (biceps, triceps, subscapular, and suprailiac); SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FBG: fasting blood glucose; TC: total cholesterol; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: serum triglycerides.
